While the pancakes cook, sliced pears simmer in butter and brown sugar creating enough pan juices to drench the cheese pancakes. There's no need for additional pancake syrup. Ingredients:
2 cups complete pancake mix |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon butter or margarine |
2 large pears, peeled, cored, and sliced |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
5 fully cooked bacon slices, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Whisk together first 5 ingredients. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet. Cook pancakes 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked; turn and cook other sides until done.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pears and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until pears are tender. Serve pears and pan juices over pancakes, and sprinkle with bacon.
